Security forces have killed 11 terrorists in three separate operations carried out across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the military\u2019s media wing said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
A statement from the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the operations took place a day ago and today.<\/p>\n
It said the first intelligence-based operation (IBO) was carried out in Tank district in which seven terrorists were \u201csent to hell\u201d after security forces engaged them at their location.<\/p>\n
Similarly, two terrorists were killed by security forces in another IBO in North Waziristan\u2019s Datta Khel area.<\/p>\n
The ISPR said a third encounter took place in Mohmand district\u2019s Mamad Gat in which two more terrorists were killed after an \u201cintense fire exchange\u201d.<\/p>\n
It added that weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain militants who were actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the security forces as well as innocent civilians.<\/p>\n
The ISPR said sanitisation operations were underway to eliminate any other terrorists.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecurity forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country\u201d.<\/p>\n
The country has witnessed a sharp uptick in the number of attacks targeting security forces, other law enforcement agencies, and security checkpoints, particularly in Balochistan and KP.<\/p>\n
Attacks escalated after the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) broke a fragile ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022 and vowed to target security forces.<\/p>\n
The ISPR said last week that a total of 43 terrorists, 18 in KP and 25 in Balochistan, were \u201csent to hell\u201d by security forces during extensive IBOs conducted in the provinces since Dec 9, causing a \u201cmajor setback\u201d to the TTP and other terrorist groups operating in Balochistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
